Last modified

CVE-2026-49741 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 8.7/10 on the CVSS scale. Backend users with write access to the form_definition database table were able to directly create, update, or delete form definition records via DataHandler, bypassing the Form Framework's persistence validation and permission checks. This allowed injecting arbitrary form configurations, re-enabling attack vectors originally addressed in TYPO3-CORE-SA-2018-003, including SQL injection and privilege escalation. EPSS estimates a 0.24% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
